Demolition will not include the three adjacent historic buildings to the north also owned by Clarinet LLC. Clarinet is salvaging the cast iron storefront and much of the decorative limestone from the front elevation for potential reuse.

I recall, from the early 70's, my dad coming home from a sales call to Switzer on the landing. He brought home several complimentary bags of Switzer's, licorice and cherry. It was STILL WARM in the bags! Freshly manufactured and warm off the machine. I can almost still feel the bags in my hands. I'm glad that I have such a good memory from this building, otherwise the criminal act of neglect-- not necessarily perpetrated by the current ownership-- which led to this sad day would be more painful.
